This observational, prospective study aimed to
describe the profile of newborns that use peripheral venous
catheters and present risk factors for the development of
complications. The sample consisted of newborns that
were hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit,
from 01/02 to 30/06/2013. Among the 145 newborns
that used 677 peripheral venous catheters, 95 presented
complications. There was statistical significance for
complications in newborns: who were premature, using
central venous catheters and endotracheal intubation, had
greater mean usage of catheters, lower mean birth weight
and longer mean time of hospitalization. Using peripheral
venous catheter exposes newborns to risks arising from
their use, however, understanding the complications and
triggering risk factors based on evidence qualifies the care.
